Final Cut Pro For Avid Editors
All of our training classes are one on one with the trainer unless otherwise specified by the student(s).
Make The Transition From Avid To Final Cut Pro Smoothly
If you are currently an Avid editor looking to make the switch to Final Cut Pro either by choice, or by the directive of a higher power, then this is the class for you. Luckily, Final Cut Pro and Avid are very similar once you forget about the hamburger menu. The main problem making the transition from Avid to Final Cut Pro is learning what buttons and commands in Final Cut Pro correspond with the buttons and commands that you already know in Avid. You will soon find that Final Cut Pro is actually easier to learn then Avid but just as powerful. More and more facilities are switching over to Final Cut Pro systems because of its affordability and capability. So if you are currently an Avid editor having to pass on editing jobs using Final Cut Pro, it's time to bite the bullet, take the plunge and start planning your training today. When you check the Avid editor checkbox in your registration form, we will pair you with a trainer who is also an Avid editor. After a breif consultation about your editing experience and goals, the trainer will formulate a lesson plan customized to you. Our goal is to train each Avid editor in way that they can make the transition from Avid to Final Cut Pro quickly and easily.
Here are some comments from Avid editors who have made the switch to Final Cut Pro:
"Coming from an AVID editing background it was great that John was
also a former AVID person.We were able to instantly speak the same language.
His teaching style made me realize how intuitive FCP is. With two classes,
I am able to cut with proficiency. I understand the menu's and know
how to do alot more than just the basics. He was open to questions and always
made sure I understood the topic before going on to another one.What I
liked the most was the fact that I could ask advanced questions
(because of my AVID background) and John explained the answers to me
in a way I could quickly relate to. He teaches according to YOUR learning curve.
I would recommend this course to anyone looking to learn FCP."

"I never thought I would be one of the testimonials, but I do need to let you
know my progress since your class. After the initial shock of accepting
a job in FCP...and having only 2 weeks to be as efficient and fast as
I am on an AVID. I have to say that John got me through the transition
fast enough that I had no problem on the job. Considering I walked in
the door of his place with nothing but a bad attitude about this
forced transition, he persevered and was so personable I couldn't
help but accept the change with his open arms.
The class was very clear. I didn't need to take any notes and I didn't
need to contact him afterward with any technical questions. It all went very smoothly
and damn John, you are right, it's not such a bad program after all. Well worth it.
Thanks again!"

"I took the 2 day crash course and it was very informative. I learned more in 3 hours than I did in a 2 day course which I took somewhere else. John takes his time and breaks it down for you. I have a back ground in Avid and needed to learn FCP ASAP. He made it an easy transition. Anybody looking to learn FCP, this is the place for you."

"After more than a decade as an AVID editor, I was intimidated by the thought of jumping into Final Cut Pro. I don't recall a technical teacher who guaged the level of my knowledge and what I needed to learn in both the short and long term better than John. I recommend this class, not only to editors, but producers, camerapeople, and anyone else interesting in this powerful and growing editing system."
